[Intro]
Em Cmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
Em
Like a flip flop feminists relationship with Barbie
Cmaj7
Hardly the unsung perfectionist, perhaps white supremacist
Em
Or Is this over-analysis of plastic?
Cmaj7
A fanatic franticly forge five thousand words
Em
On the relevance and development of marketing to girls
Cmaj7 Em
And the harshness of the world, against all odds she worked 130 jobs
Cmaj7
But still thrilled mostly by the presence of heartthrobs
Em
Unaffected by patriarchy or recessions, but soon it must be questioned
Cmaj7
Does the doll face only represent what first is projected
Em
Grammar and spellcheck, half these points make no sense
Cmaj7
The deadlines days away and their conclusions a conflicted mess
Em
So how did molded plastic become so problematic
Cmaj7
Where negi readings are dramatic but posis over-romantic
Em
And maybe Barbie would rather be a gnarly dirty harpy
Cmaj7
Tattoos drawn on with sharpie, kissing girls at a party
Em
A figure once seen as pristine whilst preserved in a box
Cmaj7
Most barbies end up naked and limbless with their hair shaved off
Em
Perhaps it should be mentioned that Barbie would be sectioned
Cmaj7 Em
Having weigh-ins everyday for what others call perfection
Cmaj7
You can say she's just a doll so what does their size really mean
Cm
60s slumber party Barbie still read books saying don't eat
Em
Perhaps an ever-changing icon reflecting female progress
Cmaj7 Em
Perhaps a shallow feminism focused on individual success
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
And now we are over the word count
Em Cmaj7
Got to edit down what's written with no conclusion found out
Em
Tangled and confused and now scared of being misread
Cmaj7 Em
Wishing they'd done GI Joe male violence and conscription instead
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Exhausting approaches Barbies subtext seems absent
Em
A one dimensional character with endless multifacets
Cmaj7 Em
Time is nearly up they must be pragmatic
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Conclusion: the most human thing about Barbie is the fact she's problematic
[Verse 3]
